I won’t entirely disagree about the posing but I do think you’re missing the stylistic intention behind InArt’s choice to shoot these figures in very natural, unexaggerated poses.
They’re presenting the figure as if it were the character in a costume testing-like environment or like they’re shooting for publicity material- along with specific, memorable scene recreations.
The aim is to convey lifelike realism; ‘Doesn’t this look like a miniature person’ over ‘look how rad the articulation on this toy is!’

I completely agree with you, greatest looking figure ever!!!!!
1. I'm sure others have said but them boots be too short.
2. Does anyone know of a good Anduril that'll go well with this real fine figure?

My heart wants the fellowship, but the logistics side of me simply doesn't see InArt investing in Hobbit bodies. I don't think they could even reuse them for the Philospher's Stone kids because they'd still be too short.
There's a universe where Gimli happens, solely because they might be able to reuse the body for Tyrion should their GOT endeavors prove fruitful.

Whoever is doing the paint applications for this figure, I hope they're getting paid well. That close-up of the sculpt...thats just nuts man!Hi-Res images, specs and links to retailers. Hope it helps keep it organized a bit.
While I enjoyed the movies, I never really got into the LotR's franchise as much as some other people did (probably because I never read the books). But that level of detail even has me considering on getting this guy.
Really looking forward to seeing which franchise these folks come out with next. InArt really is putting HT to shame with these releases.

at this rate of accurate details, I'm sure they even made his broken toe inside that boots.

Happy with the fantastic works so far for Star Wars license from Hot Toys. Don't need CW Kenobi to be priced at $500+ for ultra detailed realism level whatsoever.

Agreed. Honestly that’s the one thing that kind of makes me a bit irritated with the InArt fans. I get being a bit disenchanted/irritated with some choices Hot Toys makes but it’s not like they’re making garbage figures like some seem to like to make it out. InArt is making very nice figures I’m not denying that, but I feel like Hot Toys definitely still has their place.

The way the sculpted hair looks is insanely good I'm tempted to get that version also but I'll be ok with just the premium.
no kids

50+ Y/O, dual income household, no kids = disposal income.....
lol yep same. Even so I don't think I'd order more regardless. If I did, maybe I'd order the rooted, but I'd keep it in a safe and order the sculpted to display. So what's the point? I'm too selective and I do appreciate that because it saves moneyYep, only ordered one because of kids
Same. While there's no question that this is one heck of a prototype and is one of the best, if not THE best officially licensed protos from a company we've seen yet, like you said, it's not like HT is making garbage figures. Regardless of how you feel about the movie/characters, just a few weeks ago most were praising HT for the amazing looking AOTC Anakin and Padme.
Yes, HT can and has gotten a little boring from time to time, and not everything they do is a homerun, but credit were credit is due. The tune in this thread is sounding more like HT has all of sudden transformed into Star Ace
That's not to say I'm not INCREDIBLY excited by this release. I'm actually going to finally sell off all my LOTR Premium Format statues b/c of how good this looks. Those are the first "high end" statues I ever bought and I never thought I would sell them but here we are.
We're still in the honeymoon stage of this thread though. Eventually we'll start talking more and more about the inaccuracies like the ones others have previously mentioned once the shock and awe has come down some. Surprised no one has mentioned the belt buckle being wrong just yet.
